Do you still have one with a dimple button?

The home button thing? Yeah.
That’s a collector’s item these days.
I’ve only had 6 phones since 2002, so there’s that.
Good for you!
I had to get three new phones in three months. Thankfully Loews / Universal paid for all of them. They wouldn’t let me expense phone protectors, but they kept giving me new phones.
Surprised there aren’t more mass events inside casinos even with some having metal detectors.
Last on-floor casino shooting I recall is the motorcycle gang related one in Laughlin in the late 90s.

Damn, that’s 5 minutes from my wife’s grandmothers house. We used to take her to go play penny slots.
You literally were the first person I thought of when I saw this, even before some industry colleagues who work in WI.
Thanks
.we actually moved from from GB to Milwaukee this week, so no more going up there unless I somehow get Packer tickets. Still weird to know you have been in a mass shooting site dozens of times.
See, even godless heathen can have hearts.Thanks

you even have souls too
besides, as the current political climate (and history has shown us), ones religious fervor is no indication of what lies within ones heart.
and again. As soon as I saw Rigby Middle School as a trending topic on Twitter I was 99% sure it was a shooting. The other 1% was that Matt Gaetz was looking for a date.

Ha ha ha, joke’s on us.
Not a mass shooting.

Get a room you two.
I am surprised no threads about Anti Asians hate crime in the US. I watched it once on YouTube and they give me video recommendations every day. It's like it occurs almost every day.
And I noticed the victims mostly women and or old.

That would be an interesting thread. I have had Nokia 3310, Some Samsung flip phone, Note 3 and Note 8 since the beginning of time.
It's crazy. Especially since the crimes seem to be in urban areas with blue voters (meaning they are unlikely to be from people not influenced by Trump).
So why not make a thread?
Can’t quite use the ‘gun free zone’ or Democratic mayor nonsense here.

My wife’s insurance covers 20 zofran for $0.78. (Zofran is a common nausea medication)
She had to go to the ER a few months ago and they gave her 1 single zofran. Got the bill in the mail today. They charged us $156 for it.

When they talk about "platinum plans" this is not quite what I had in mind.
The biggest impediment to M4A is the insurance companies that will go under (and good riddance) and the drug companies that will no longer be able to charge 10X what they charge in the rest of the world. As with almost all the ills in the world, this one is a result of greed from a handful of people.
Insane.
I went into the ER in 2017 for kidney stones. I was there for four hours, I was given a cc of
Morphine & a few ccs of Toradol for the pain & I had bloodwork done. I had to get a scan even though I didn’t want one as I knew exactly what it was & I just wanted the pain to subside through the Toradol.
My bill was just over $11K.
Doesn't an insurance cover bills like this?
It's the price of freedom, my friend.
Can't you tell them to absolutely fick off ?
I'm never going to the USA again
I fell and cut my head in Cyprus on holiday and it cost €80 to get patched up.
Would I be looking at a few grand in the USA ?
I had just started a new job & was a couple of weeks shy of getting insurance.
I forgot to mention that this was the negotiated ‘cash only’ price. It was in the neighborhood of 17K initially.
We’re exceptional.
So if you are unlucky enough to be unemployed or in between jobs you essentially can be screwed.
Yep. Or you can choose COBRA for a short term which is its own price crush.
I am paying it off $25 / month, though. I will be done in 2054 (if I live that long). That’s what we negotiated after I learned all the artificial bullshit that was in the final bill. It was a bit mind blowing how the specific hospital to which I went charged for stuff.
Mass public start protesting, running media campaigns etc. You’ll soon see democrats put it on their manifesto if they think enough voters care. Repubs will never change, they know where the money comes from
And the Tories want the NHs to be similar. Or they did before covid came along
That's fecked up. Had the same experience with kidney stones in July 2018. Didn't cost me a penny.
That's my point. It's not the two party system that is the issue with guns. It's that the left/liberals/progressives generally don't care enough to make it a voting issue and in turn, their representatives don't care as well.
Guns are a constant campaign issue for the right. It is always at the forefront of their discussions, their representatives are always under constant pressure. I see no such thing on the other side.
There's an outrage for a day or two and we all forget it.
Sadly that’s true
Ha. No. If you refuse to pay hospital bills the hospital will eventually send your bill to debt collection, in which you can be sued to have your wages garnished... which means they’ll get a court order to take to your employer to just start pulling the money out of your paycheck. Oh, and they’ll wreck your credit score, too.
Here’s a nice article about how it from The Atlantic:https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/08/medical-bill-debt-collection/596914/
That’s insane.
Side side note. I once had a summer job as a porter in fancy private hospital in Dublin. When I was doing nights I took great pleasure in logging onto the computer at front desk and seeing exactly how much Bono had been charged for some panadol and wound dressings. Very long time ago. GDPR wasn’t a thing, obviously!
